Sternomanubrial Dislocation
General Considerations
- Rare
- Usually occurs with high energy impact, such as motor vehicle accidents
- Can occur with lower impact forces if there is a pre-existing arthropathy, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis or severe kyphosis
- Joint may be synovial (dislocation most common), synchondral, or synosteal (latter two typically fracture through manubrium without dislocation)
